Reddit Video Maker Bot 🎥

All done WITHOUT video editing or asset compiling. Just pure programming magic.

Motivation 🤔

These videos on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram get MILLIONS of views across all platforms and require very little effort. The only original thing being done is the editing and gathering of all materials...

... but what if we can automate that process? 🤔

Disclaimers 🚨

  • At the moment, this repository won't attempt to upload this content through this bot. It will give you a file that you will then have to upload manually. This is for the sake of avoiding any sort of community guideline issues.

Requirements

  • Python 3.9+
  • Playwright (this should install automatically in installation)

Installation 👩‍💻

  1. Clone this repository

  2. Run pip install -r requirements.txt

  3. Run playwright install and playwright install-deps. (if this fails try adding python -m to the front of the command)

EXPERIMENTAL!!!!

On MacOS and Linux (debian, arch, fedora and centos, and based on those), you can run an install script that will automatically install steps 1 to 3. (requires bash)

bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elebumm/RedditVideoMakerBot/master/install.sh)

This can also be used to update the installation

  1. Run python main.py required**), visit the Reddit Apps page. TL;DR set up an app that is a "script".
  2. Enjoy 😎

(Note if you got an error installing or running the bot try first rerunning the command with a three after the name e.g. python3 or pip3)

Contributing & Ways to improve 📈

In its current state, this bot does exactly what it needs to do. However, lots of improvements can be made.

I have tried to simplify the code so anyone can read it and start contributing at any skill level. Don't be shy :) contribute!

  • Creating better documentation and adding a command line interface.
  • Allowing users to choose a reddit thread instead of being randomized.
  • Allowing users to choose a background that is picked instead of the Minecraft one.
  • Allowing users to choose between any subreddit.
  • Allowing users to change voice.
  • Checks if a video has already been created
  • Light and Dark modes
  • NSFW post filter
